Overview

Explore Wachau Valley, Austria’s premier winemaking region, on a full-day tour with a private guide! After leaving Vienna, travel into the heart of the romantic region and enjoy two wine tastings. Sip on light Wachau Valley wines, and then visit the UNESCO-listed town of Dürnstein to sample locally produced schnapps, chocolate and more. If your tour takes place in the summer, you'll then enjoy a Danube River cruise to Melk; alternatively, if you travel in the winter months, enjoy a long lunch at a wine tavern. Your day finishes with a trip to Melk’s impressive Benedictine monastery – Melk Abbey – before returning to Vienna.

A perfect day

Published on Dec, 2024

Our day in the Wachau valley was probably the best day of our trip. Tim was an amazing guide, Durnstein was magical, the wine tastings perfect (-thank you Max for hosting us at your family winery-), lunch was in a small family restaurant in Melk and was delicious, and the Abbey was stunning. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Wachau wines are delightful!

Published on Nov, 2024

My guide Marco was amazing. Max the owner arranged for me to be picked up at my hotel…the Wachau valley is wonderful and the abbey was amazing!

Great wine tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Our tour guide Tim was excellent We tried dry white Austrian wines that were like nothing we had ever had before

Professional, Well-Organized, and Relaxing Day out of the City

Published on Aug, 2024

On balance, this was an excellent tour: well-organized, well-explained by the guide (Marco), and full of amazing wine, architecture, and food. Directions to the pick-up spot were easy to follow, and Marco was there to greet us on arrival. We traveled in a group of eight (plus Marco), in a very comfortable Mercedes passenger van. (Note: it was very warm when we visited Vienna, but Marco was incredible in keeping the van very cool and inviting throughout the day.) During our drive (approximately 1 hour from Vienna), Marco explained a lot to us (using an excellent microphone and speaker so that everyone could hear), about the wine region, the history, and how the varietals had subtle differences. The two wineries we visited were picturesque, inviting, and INSTAGRAMable. Marco was great in his explanations of each wine, eliciting our comments, and answering any questions we had along the way. For lunch, Marco took us to a traditional "heuriger": essentially a wine restaurant with picnic-style lunch. Most of the people surrounding us were locals or Austrians on holiday. It was a wonderful way to experience Austrian culture outside of Vienna, and sample more wines (and traditional cuisine). My wife is a vegetarian, and even she was able to find delicious choices on the menu. After lunch, we took a beautiful cruise along the Danube for approximately one hour. It was pleasant, relaxing, and an opportunity to enjoy some sites outside of Vienna in a very chill atmosphere. The boat had indoor and outdoor tables, with A/C, and a full menu (in case anyone was still hungry after lunch!) At the conclusion of the boat ride, Marco met us and drove home, but made quick reference to the Melk Abbey. (Note: the fine print of the tour mentions this but I didn't pay attention to it until we got there. The tour of Melk Abbey only takes place in the winter months. I'm not sure why, but the Abbey tour is not part of the summer experience.) We returned to Vienna approximately 9 hours after our original departure, and had a pleasant experience. Again, Marco was an awesome, personable tour guide and driver, and I would recommend this tour to anyone who is looking for an outside-of-Vienna experience for a day trip, who enjoys dry white wines.

A wonderful Wachau Valley Tour

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a nice trip. Our excellent guide, Miguel, provided all attention and care we needed. The bikes were excellent and everything worked. Me and my wife fully recommend this trip.
